Best Knot

[Hindsight]

Looking for the best knot between Ganion and Spectra ?

Uni -Knot? works on mono-and specrtra - I usually use a #2 swivel or a #5 balling bearing swivel on my riggers -polmar knot or double clinch knot for thoses

Works good as a stopper also. Thanks

Just tried joining the new super braid from Suffix to mono. The uni-knot is amazing. Plenty of online demos if you search it on google, and it is so easy to tie anyone (including me) could master it in short order. Very impressed with that knot, you should try it.

thanks ya lots of stuff on line. its just ganion to spectra i am looking for as i think the spectra is going to work thru the ganion. i am going to try the uni as i have tried many knots today but not that one. thanks again

Try using a doubled line on the spectra side-kind of PITA to work with but take it slow and it'll work.

I like that uni-knot, will have to try it out with my fly lines.

Using a swivel is the best of ideas as it works well as your auto shut-off. I use a Palomar or a double Uni knot on the braid to swivel. If you double the ganion just loop it through the swivel and use a double-uni or blood knot.
I use a single strand of 200# Tuna cord about 6-8' long with a modified Trilene or Uni knot at each end, that works well for me. Burn the ends of the cord and braid. That aids as a safety. gl.

Love the Tuna Cord- A friend put me onto it last season, a swivel, a couple crimps & done
